Testimonials
Reeta
The 200-hour yoga teacher training was well-structured and truly worth the price. Shiva and the other teachers are highly professional and knowledgeable. This training goes beyond just asanas, offering deep insights into philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and overall yogic lifestyle. Classes run from Monday to Saturday, with Sundays free for rest or exploration. I stayed in a house just a 3-minute walk from the school. While my room didn’t have a balcony, there was a shared terrace, and my room was comfortable and spacious. The food was excellent—healthy, delicious sattvic meals that nourished both body and mind. The location of the school is ideal, just a short walk from the beach, and Varkala itself offers a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend this teacher training for anyone looking for a truly immersive and holistic yoga experience – it’s a valuable investment in both knowledge and personal growth!
Margherita
Doing the 200h TTC at Shiva Rishi was one of the best things I could ever experience and it’s very hard to
resume it in few words. I’m extremely fullfilled and grateful for all that I got to learn about yoga and life. All
the teachers, Ashok, Sanathanan, Anish ecc. are very passionate in sharing their knowledge with autenthicity,
and Shiva is beyond a great teacher, a great person with such a unique personality, dedicating all his time to his
students. Food is amazing (thanks to Bina) and all the ladies working at the school are incredibly kind and smiling. The location of the school is great, rounded by bautiful nature, between palm trees and just 1min walking from the beach where you can have sunset swimming everyday. I really can’t wait to be back and do my next TTC!!
Jai Shiva, Hari om tat sat✨
